How to Set Up a SCUM Server

SCUM··2 min read

SCUM is the ultra-detailed survival sim where metabolism, inventory and gunplay run deep. A dedicated server with admin tools and configurable loot/events lets you run anything from hardcore PvP to PvE communities. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a SCUM server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

  • A SCUM plan with around 8–16 GB of RAM — SCUM is a Heavy-class game.
  • Support for server config and admin tools, included on every GGameHost SCUM plan.
  • Your friends or community to play with (up to 64 slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your SCUM community. We recommend about 8–16 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. SCUM plans start at $24.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your SCUM server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.

Step 3 — Connect & invite players

Once your SCUM server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.

Step 4 — Install mods & configure

Your SCUM server supports Admin tools, Loot config, Events, FTP/SFTP. Install server config and admin tools straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.

Step 5 — Keep it running smoothly

Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your SCUM server stable.
